China sent 39 fighter jets to Taiwan in 24 hours. Last Minute WORLD headlines and events

Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense announced that the Chinese army sent 39 aircraft and three ships towards Taiwan in a 24-hour show of force.

Chinese military persecution of Taiwan, which it calls its territory, has intensified in recent years, with the People’s Liberation Army sending planes or ships to the island on an almost daily basis.

Between 6:00 am and 6:00 am today, 30 Chinese aircraft crossed the middle of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial border previously tacitly accepted by both sides, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense.

According to the flight pattern provided by Taiwan, these aircraft flew towards the southwest of the island and then leveled to the southeast side before returning.

The aircraft consisted of 21 J-16 fighters, 4 H-6 bombers and two airborne early warning and control aircraft.

Taiwan said it was tracking China’s movements from its fleet of ships, as well as from ground-based missile systems.

In August, the Chinese military held a major military exercise in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.

Beijing views the visits of foreign governments to the island as a de facto recognition of Taiwan’s independence and a challenge to China’s claim to sovereignty.

In the largest military exercise against Taiwan in recent years, China regularly let ships and planes pass through the middle of the strait. Beijing also fired rockets that fell over Taiwan towards Japan’s exclusive economic zone.
